tools/rtla: Improve exception handling in timerlat_load.py

The enhancements made to timerlat_load.py are intended to improve the script's exception handling.

Summary of the changes:
  - Specific exceptions are now caught for CPU affinity and priority
    settings, with clearer error messages provided.
  - The timerlat file descriptor opening now includes handling for
    PermissionError and OSError, with informative messages.
  - In the infinite loop, generic exceptions have been replaced with
    specific types like KeyboardInterrupt and IOError, improving feedback.

 Before:
    $ sudo python timerlat_load.py 122
    Error setting affinity
 After:
    $ sudo python timerlat_load.py 122
    Error setting affinity: [Errno 22] Invalid argument

 Before:
    $ sudo python timerlat_load.py 1 -p 950
    Error setting priority
 After:
    $ sudo python timerlat_load.py 1 -p 950
    Error setting priority: [Errno 22] Invalid argument

 Before:
    $ python timerlat_load.py 1
    Error opening timerlat fd, did you run timerlat -U?
 After:
    $ python timerlat_load.py 1
